Clackamas and Multnomah county boards meet in a joint session Wednesday to pick one of three candidates to replace former Rep. Chris Garrett in the state Legislature.

The 10 commissioners will meet at 1:30 p.m. at the West End Building, 4101 Kruse Way. The public may attend the meeting, but not participate.

The commissioners' votes are weighted individually, with each Clackamas County commissioners' vote getting slightly more points than Multnomah commissioners. The weighting is based on how much of House District 38, the vacant district, falls in each county.

Watch online at the Clackamas County website, the Multnomah County website, or on the Clackamas County Government Channel after the meeting.

Garrett resigned in December because Gov. John Kitzhaber appointed him to the Oregon Court of Appeals.
